LONDON - Sept. 18, 2018 - ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced its launch of Browser Security Plus, a browser management solution that helps organisations secure their corporate data in the cloud and protect their networks from web-based cyberattacks. Available immediately, Browser Security Plus provides organisations with a layer of management capabilities for browsers and their add-ons to maintain robust enterprise security. This allows enterprises to improve network health by preventing, detecting and fixing any browser vulnerabilities.

Customers can get a live demonstration of Browser Security Plus at the inaugural ManageEngine User Conference 2018 in London, Sept. 18-19, at the Hilton London Metropole.

As modern web, portable computing devices, and other technologies have enabled employees to work from anywhere, there's been a surge in cloud adoption among organisations, and browsers have evolved to be silent entry points for accessing corporate data. According to Statista, browsers have accounted for 23.47 percent of exploit attacks in 2018 as of Q1. This has a serious impact on enterprise security, as attackers leverage unsecured browsers and web applications to create lasting business repercussions.

Addressing this evolving need, ManageEngine has developed a comprehensive browser management solution that can secure multiple browsersi - such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Edge - used in Windows environments, as 88.18 percent of desktops worldwide run on Windows, according to Net Market Share.

"For the longest time, browsers have been considered just another application. With cloud applications pivoting the way business is done, browsers have become endpoints in and of themselves, capable of achieving functionalities of a number of native applications put together," said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, vice president of ManageEngine. "By managing browsers the same way they manage endpoints like desktops and mobile devices, enterprises can seal their network from possible attacks at its most used threshold."

Cyberhygiene Practices Implemented in Browser Security Plus

Compliance: IT teams can set rules required by their organisation and also monitor for compliance with Security Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIG) and industry security standards predefined by the Center for Internet Security (CIS).

Add-on management: IT teams can provide and revoke access to browser add-ons like extensions and plug-ins based on their reliability and also silently push mission-critical extensions to computers from a central repository.

Browser isolation: Trusted websites and business applications are segregated from their untrusted counterparts. Untrusted sites are rendered in a virtual browser to ensure enterprise data remains secure.

Browser Security Plus covers all critical aspects of securing a browser - from obtaining visibility, enforcing security policies, and controlling access to ensuring compliance with enforced policies. The company also plans to extend its browser management capabilities to macOS, followed by other operating systems in the near future.

User Conference Highlights

In addition to the launch of Browser Security Plus, ManageEngine's two-day conference will cover the company's broad portfolio of products and will feature product training sessions, one-on-one sessions with product experts, and product road maps.

ManageEngine is also recognizing two of its regional partners in the United Kingdom for their significant contribution to company's growth and brand presence in the region. Wanstor Limited will be awarded MSP Partner of the Year 2017-18, and set3 Solutions will be awarded Technology Partner of the Year 2017-18.

With business growth of 37 percent in the last 12 months and projected growth of about 40 percent by the end of 2018, ManageEngine's plan is to strengthen its base in the UK markets.

"We see a huge opportunity in the market, given the fact that IT departments have the potential to influence business decisions," said Arun Kumar J, regional director of sales at ManageEngine. "With digital transformation in place, organisations will need to align their business teams with IT, which makes ManageEngine an ideal candidate to help catalyse this change."

Apart from training sessions, customers can learn more about the company's R&D pipeline, channel strategies, and plans to invest in new technologies.
